At the beginning of this wonderful fantasy novel, there is a poem. It is a poem well worth reading, and reading again.
A Point In The Dark
A point in the dark
Through the frozen air
Fixed in the mind
By the penetrating stare
Of ages of wisdom
And will to care.
Saplings to trees
And trees to dust
The cycle continues
As all cycles must
The blind that can see
And the deaf that can hear
Know the truth of the secrets
Kept hidden and near
Still afraid
When there is nothing to fear
Death does not stalk
You choose your own tears.
E.G. Oliva
